We are passionate about the multicultural experience, because we both live it. As family therapists, we work extensively with people who have multiethnic heritages. One thing we have learned from our clients and personal experience is that traditional diversity training and multicultural awareness do not keep up with who’s living in the world today. In response, we’re doing some anecdotal research. The focus is on how today’s multicultural population is pushing the boundaries of our thinking.

People traditionally categorize others by appearance. This is becoming more complicated. There are many differences that don’t show such as spiritual practices, social class, and regional accents. We want to hear about your experiences of how others have perceived you and how you feel about that.

Please copy the survey questions and send your answers either via email or USPS. We will post selected responses on our Mixed Blessings website and Facebook page, and all will be kept strictly anonymous. If you do NOT want your responses posted online, please make a note of it.

1. How old are you?

2. Are you male or female?

3. Where do you live? (geographical region, e.g. state if in USA, or country if not in USA)
